Meet Christina Chow @cwissioinatlanta
Hi, I'm Christina! Just a small girl exploring the big world and all Atlanta has to offer! I love discovering new restaurants and activities and recommending the best things to do!
My perfect day in Gwinnett...
would be to grab brunch at Maple Street Biscuit or Jam + Toast, take a walk at Jones Bridge park or hang out at the Chattahoohee River, get dessert at one of the many cafes/boba shops in Duluth, shop around at Teso Life, and grab dinner at Luciano's!

My perfect day in Gwinnett...
would be spent exploring Pleasant Hill, it’s packed with hidden gems and incredible food from all over the world. I’d start with boba or coffee at one of the cozy cafés, grab lunch with authentic flavors, do a little shopping and end the day with dinner and dessert at one of the late-night spots nearby. It’s the best mix of culture, flavor, and community all in one stretch.

Meet Matthew Chow @chowfuneats
My name is Matthew Chow. I'm a graduate of the University of Georgia. On my free time I enjoy spending time with friends and family through food and adventures! I made my social media page out of my passion for food. I've always liked comparing different restaurants, and I want to share my experiences with others. Although my page is food oriented, I love attending events and trying new things. Some of the events in this program seem right in the wheel house for events I'd typically enjoy! My Instagram name is Chowfuneats, which I came up with from my last name being "Chow" and a popular Cantonese dish "Chowfun". I am half-Cantonese, so I thought this name was a great fit. I'd love to be a part of the Gwinnfluencers program!
My perfect day in Gwinnett...
would start with a morning stroll in a park. A couple of my favorites are Jones Bridge Park and McDaniel Farm park. Afterwards, I'd grab some coffee at a local coffee shop. In the afternoon, I'd do some clothes shopping and grab lunch at the Forum at Peachtree Corners. If there were any festivals going on, I'd try to make it to those as well. Afterwards, I'd catch a movie with some friends and head over to Duluth for some Korean BBQ.

Meet Farzana Zerin @atlanta_diaries TikTok: atlantafoodies
I’m Farzana Zerin, a storyteller at heart, with a camera in one hand and endless curiosity in the other. I hold a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, but my journey has been about much more than research. During my PhD years, there were nights when the lab lights burned long past midnight, and the weight of exhaustion felt heavier than the data I carried. In those moments, I reached for something that brought me back to life, CREATING! Photography and video became my safe place. They gave me a reason to look up, notice the beauty in small things, and share it with others. What started as an escape soon became my passion: capturing not just what I see, but how it feels to be there. I’m bubbly by nature and believe joy shouldn’t have a price tag. My videos celebrate everything from the laughter of a family-owned café to the stillness of a mountain morning, from bustling farmers markets to quiet beach sunsets. I love showing that you don’t need a big budget to live a rich, beautiful life. Every day offers a story worth telling and my greatest joy is inviting others to see, feel, and experience it with me.
